Today Team India is going to face host Sri Lanka in the Super Four match. India has a chance to get a ticket to the final by winning this match. However, the threat of rain is also looming over the match between India and Sri Lanka. There is a possibility of heavy rain in Colombo after noon. Due to rain, Team India players will be on the field for the third consecutive day. There is no reserve day for the match between India and Sri Lanka. If this match is not completed due to rain, then 1-1 point will be distributed between both the teams.
India has suffered a big blow before this match. Shreyas Iyer is not available to play the match against Sri Lanka due to injury. This clearly means that Ishan Kishan will remain a part of the playing 11. Kishan did not get a chance to bat against Pakistan. However, there is doubt on KL Rahul’s play also. Rahul looked very tired after playing a century against Pakistan. If Rahul is given rest, then Suryakumar Yadav can become a part of the playing 11 in his place.
Due to being on the field for three consecutive days, changes may also be seen in the fast bowling attack of Team India. Jasprit Bumrah is also likely to be given rest. Mohammed Shami can get a place in the playing 11 in place of Bumrah. If Siraj is also given rest then Prasidh Krishna can become a part of the playing 11. Kuldeep Yadav, however, will remain in charge of spin bowling. There is no possibility of change in the spin department.
India’s playing 11 could be like this: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah/Mohammed Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur.
